06/25/2009
. (Blabbermouth) AC/DC made Forbes magazine's list of Top-Earning Musicians list of the year, with Madonna, [Sealion] Dion and Beyonce taking the top three spots.

Says Forbes: "The Aussie rock band fronted* by aging schoolboy Angus Young tied for No. 5 on this year's list of top earners thanks to their seemingly relentless popularity. [*when did Angus take over for Brian?]

"Their fall 2008 effort, 'Black Ice', was the band's first album in eight years. Sales of 'Ice' combined with international catalog sales made AC/DC the No. 1 catalog artist of 2008. As well, their domestic tour grossed $38 million in 2008." - See the top 10 list
